Resident Evil 4 Update

IGN caught up today with producer Jeremy Bolt, and the filmmaker graciously took a moment to discuss the future of the Resident Evil film franchise.

When pressed about whether they had plans to make Resident Evil IV with Claire Redfield as the series' new lead character, Bolt replied, "It's not our intention. But we've been very pleased that the third part of the franchise has done so well. Ali Larter is a terrific Claire Redfield."

IGN reminded Bolt that he seemed bullish on RE4 when we asked him about it last year on the set of Resident Evil: Extinction. So why have he and Anderson seemingly cooled their heels on continuing the franchise?

"We haven't changed our minds. We just want to be respectful and I think the thing is we're in the middle of Death Race," Bolt explained. "We haven't really focused on it. We would certainly like to look at it, but I wouldn't want to say we were or weren't doing anything at this point. Too early."
